The Secret Society of Brides

Georgie is joined by her best friend (and stepsister) Hannah to co-host today, with a bride with a story you don't hear often.

Hannah opens up about calling off her Lake Como wedding after a 13-year relationship, meeting her fiancé when he came to cut down her trees, a proposal at a Hans Zimmer concert that happened on the wrong song, and why she's planning her whole wedding in just eight months.

It's honest, funny and occasionally brutal — from wedding tax and registrar myths to guest-list entitlement and creating a brand-new surname together.

Today's episode is co-hosted by Dan from The Function Band.

Dan joins Georgie to discuss one of the biggest wedding planning dilemmas couples face - should you book a band or a DJ?

From the real cost of hiring a live band to how wedding evening entertainment is structured, Dan gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what couples are actually paying for and what goes into creating a packed dancefloor.

The pair discuss the songs that work every single time, the songs that probably need retiring, and whether a live band is always the right choice for every wedding.

Dan also shares what makes The Function Band different from the average wedding band, how they approach weddings, and some of the funniest (and most chaotic) wedding stories he's witnessed over the years.

If you're currently deciding on your wedding entertainment, this episode is packed with practical advice, industry insight and plenty of laughs.
